2 Safety and information All warnings in the manual are summarised on this page. Pay special attention to the instructions below so that severe personal injury and/or damage to the mixer are avoided. 2.3 Safety precautions Installation: Always follow this manual thoroughly. Never expose the mixer to undue vibrations or shocks.
Study the instructions carefully. Always use adequate lifting equipment when handling the mixer. CAUTION Alfa Laval cannot be held responsible for incorrect unpacking. Step 1 Inspect the delivery for visible transportation damages - all issues to be reported to carrier.

Always use adequate lifting equipment (see mixer weight on name plate). Locate centre of gravity before moving the mixer. CAUTION Alfa Laval recommends NOT to use shaft and drive rotor as lifting point. Gear motor may be used for lifting the assembled drive unit 4307-0011 Always keep electrically controlled medical devices away from mixing unit.
Besides the equipment itself, any hazardous residues from the process liquid must be considered and dealt with in a proper manner. When in doubt, or in the absence of local regulations, please contact your local Alfa Laval sales company. ww.sks-online.com...
Spare Part list. 3.1 Weld plate ® Follow the guide in "Welding guidelines for Alfa Laval LeviMag " for welding of the weld plate into the tank. CAUTION Only use authorized personnel to weld in the weld plate.
Make sure that the motor corresponds to the environment. 3.2 Male bearing ® It is assumed that the weld plate is installed in the tank – if not, follow the guide in "Welding guidelines for Alfa Laval LeviMag ". CAUTION Protect the bearing surface from physical damage and keep it free from particles.
CAUTION Always be sure that the weld plate is correctly installed in the tank and that it has not been deformed during the welding process. ® See guide in "Welding guidelines for Alfa Laval LeviMag ". Step 1 Remove foreign magnetic particles from the mixing head (can...
CAUTION Always be sure that the weld plate is correctly installed in the tank and that it has not changed shape during welding – see ® "Welding guidelines for Alfa Laval LeviMag ". Step 1 Ensure the bearing and impeller (1) is mounted before mounting the drive unit (2).

3 Installation The instruction manual is part of the delivery. Study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to the warnings! The mixer is for permanent fastening. Make sure that the motor corresponds to the environment. Step 4 Making certain the weld plate and drive unit flange are completely flush, tighten the mounting bolts according to chapter 7.4 Tightening torque for screwed connections.
- there is no contact between tank bottom and impeller. - one of the bearings have not come loose during counterclockwise rotation. If the noise or vibration persists, please contact your Alfa Laval representative. CAUTION Always disconnect drive unit before working with the impeller or bearing.
Step 2 Alfa Laval require that a frequency converter is used running the mixer – please see chapter 7.6 Connection to frequency inverter. Step 3 1. Always allow at least a 10 sec ramping up to set speed.
The recommended maximum speeds in a fully baffled tank - mixing products with water like viscosity – can be found in chapter ® ® 7.1 Technical data, LeviMag UltraPure and chapter 7.2 Technical data, LeviMag ® Alfa Laval LeviMag can run dry once it has been submerged, however it is not recommended to run dry above 50 RPM.
4 Operation The mixer should only be operated when mounted in a tank. Never place objects or tools inside the tank when operating the mixer. 4.4 Cleaning Step 1 For optimal performance and service life of the mixer, proper CIP and SIP procedures should be followed. The mixer is designed for use with CIP, please study the instructions carefully and pay special attention to warnings! Always handle CIP and SIP lye and acids with great care.
The following recommended preventive maintenance procedures are based on the average operating conditions of most Alfa Laval machines. A mixer which is subject to abrasive fluids, will need more frequent attention than one working in ideal conditions. The maintenance program should be adjusted to meet the demands of your normal operating condition.
After 25 hours of operation, listen for abnormal sounds. If any, dismount the mixer and check all parts for scratches and dents. Alfa Laval recommend that the bearings and O-rings should be checked for cleanability and wear after one month of operation. If there is abnormal wear on either component, contact Alfa Laval for further instructions.
5 Maintenance It is important that the drive unit is dismounted before removing the impeller. The maintenance interval for the mixer depends on the application - shorter or longer service interval may appear. Handle the mixer with care and follow the recommended inspection to prevent unnecessary damage. Each of the inspection components requires A: Impeller disassembling of the mixer.
